How to Grow and Care

Light:

Semi-Shade, Full Sun. Your creeping fig will be happy in a bright room in your home but far enough from the window that the sun's direct rays do not touch it. An east- or south-facing window is best. Strong, afternoon western light is too much exposure for the plant. Variegated plants need slightly more light.

Watering: If it feels particularly wet, let it dry out for longer. Over watering can lead to fungal issues or root rot. Try watering a once a week, but always testing the soil first to see if watering is necessary.

Soil: Soils rich in fertility and organic matter that are well-drained
